Hi Jimmy,

Thank you for all your hard work transcribing these activity reports.

A very good friend of mine was born and raised in Durango. His grandfather was James R. Conner, the D&RGW engineer showing up on these reports. He lived in the 10 hundred block of 3rd Avenue in Durango.

I enjoy following his activity. For example, he did the Farmington turn on the 4th. Then it seems he must have dead-headed from Durango to Chama, probably on train #116 on the 5th so as to be able to handle the extra - Chama to Durango - on the 6th.
